Tammuz 1 or Osirak, former nuclear reactor in Iraq
Tammuz 1 ..... Osirak
Anyone remember, Osirak was a French-supplied 40 MW light-water nuclear materials testing reactor (MTR) in Iraq. It was constructed by the Iraqi government at the Al Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center, 18 km (11 miles) south-east of Baghdad in 1977. It was damaged by an Iranian air strike in 1980 during the Iran–Iraq War, then crippled by Israeli aircraft in 1981 in a surprise attack code-named Operation Opera, which was intended to prevent the regime of Saddam Hussein from using the reactor for the creation of nuclear weapons. In September 1975, then-Vice President Hussein had declared publicly that the acquisition of the French reactor was the first step in the production of an Arab atomic weapon. The facility was completely destroyed by American aircraft during the 1991 Gulf War, during the "Package Q" Airstrike. Wikipedia
"And He brought me to the entrance at the
Gate of the House
of the L-rd which was at the north;
and there were there women sitting,
bewailing the Tammuz" (Yechezkel 8:14)
